Historically the funds set aside for the maintenance and expansion of the road network have been insufficient but major efforts are currently underway to modernize the country's road infrastructure and India plans to spend approximately $70 Billion USD over the next three years. Some of the major projects that are being implemented include the National Highways Development Project and the Mumbai-Pune Expressway.
